The Light of Life
To the choirmaster: according to The Dove on Far-off Terebinths. A Miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.
Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me; all day long an attacker oppresses me; my enemies trample on me all day long, for many attack me proudly.
When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
All day long they injure my cause; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
They stir up strife, they lurk; they watch my steps, as they have waited for my life.
For their crime will they escape?
In wrath cast down the peoples, O God!
You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book?
Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call.
This I know, that God is for me.
In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can man do to me?
I must perform my vows to you, O God; I will render thank offerings to you.
For you have delivered my soul from death, yes, my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
Book of Psalms 56 ESV
Have you read the news recently?
A wonderful fact.
How beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of him who brings good news,
who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness,
who publishes salvation…
Book of Isaiah ESV
My mind is always occupied with Jesus.
Is yours?
When you go to sleep at night and when you awake in the morning, is Christ always in your thoughts?
Let me tell you, they should be if you profess to be a Christian.
For from our Scriptures, it’s says, the world and everything in it is passing away ( FaceBook included. ), but the man who does the will of God abides forever.
An Epistle of John.
Upgraded site
This website is now running on CentOs 6 rather than Ubuntu. I changed because the server control panel I was using was quite naff, and I was paying for it. I have chosen a different CP and needed a fresh installation of the OS and apparently the CP I am now using runs best on CentOs. Actually, I learned that apparently CentOs is the most popular Linux server software being used, 30% of active Linux servers are CentOs. You learn something every day eh!
It will be a few days while before all is back to normal but at least the site is up and running. 
Problem with video not working at the moment .
Bunyan, a man of grace upon grace
Could I possess the tinker’s abilities for preaching, your majesty I would gladly relinquish all my learning
John Owen replying to the King of England at that time, regarding a man called John Bunyan, as to why he listened to him.
Reminds me of John 10:20 …
Many of them said, “He has a demon, and is insane; why listen to him?
Gospel of John 10:20 ESV
I think one Bible version uses the words, “he is raving mad” with regards to that passage of Scripture.
Reminds me of this to.
And as he was saying these things in his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “Paul, you are out of your mind; your great learning is driving you out of your mind.” But Paul said, “I am not out of my mind, most excellent Festus, but I am speaking true and rational words. For the king knows about these things, and to him I speak boldly. For I am persuaded that none of these things has escaped his notice, for this has not been done in a corner. King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.” And Agrippa said to Paul, “In a short time would you persuade me to be a Christian?” And Paul said, “Whether short or long, I would to God that not only you but also all who hear me this day might become such as I am–except for these chains.”
Acts of the Apostles 26:24-29 ESV
Day out in the Mountains
Some photos at Col d’Aubisque…
Hear, O my people, and I will speak;
O Israel, I will testify against you.
I am God, your God.
Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you;
your burnt offerings are continually before me.
I will not accept a bull from your house
or goats from your folds.
For every beast of the forest is mine,
the cattle on a thousand hills.
I know all the birds of the hills,
and all that moves in the field is mine.Book of Psalms 50: 7-11 ESV
And some video as well…
For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
Pauls letter to the Romans 1 : 20-23 ESV
Enmity
You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
Letter of James 4 :4 ESV
It’s difficult to allow comments on the posts here because only a few really understand what the Bible says about Scripture. The few being the Elect I guess.
Looking for an image to stick here, but proving difficult to find a good one.
This will help if you have some imagination. Just work on the poles a bit.
